Thank you for your interest in the Georgetown Fire Department. I am honored to serve Georgetown and appreciate the trust granted with this immense responsibility. Being raised in Georgetown and fortunate enough to be able to currently reside here with my family, I take great pride in serving the citizens and businesses of the Town of Georgetown.
Our firefighters share a similar sentiment. Many are your neighbors and reside in town. Some are full- time employees of the department while most have professional careers elsewhere, both in and out of the fire service. Regardless, of where they reside or what they do for work, they are compassionate, highly trained and dedicated professionals that perform their duties each and every day and work tirelessly to ensure the safety and well-being of our beloved community.
As an organization, our mission is simple: we are here to help people. Our “North Star” provides guiding principles and is our operational compass that helps us achieve our mission through rapid response to emergencies, requests for service, education as well as through prevention. We consider our department to be progressive and dynamic, using data and research to guide our decision-making and implementing change while adopting new technologies and best practices to achieve operational efficiencies and effectiveness. Finally, we are consistently striving to better ourselves, our department, and our community through our training and educational endeavors.
I encourage you to continue to explore our website to learn more about our department, our services, and how you can partner with us to keep our community safe. On behalf of the members of the Georgetown Fire Department, thank you for your continued trust and support.
Stay safe,
Matt McKay
Fire Chief, Georgetown Fire Department
